Twelve Micro-D Subminiature connector pair and 6 Low Force Helix (LFH/sup TM/) connector pair with EMI backshells were measured in a triaxial test fixture over 2 frequency ranges-a low frequency range of 1 kHz to 200 MHz and a high frequency range of 300 kHz to 3 GHz. A calibration sample of known impedance was used to correct the high frequency data to mitigate effects of the test fixture parasitics and permit credible transfer impedance data to be obtained up to 1 GHz. The Micro-D connector assemblies from two manufacturers, X and Y, were measured. There was no statistical difference between the Micro-D connector plugs assembled by manufacturers X and Y. At 200 MHz, the average transfer impedance of the Micro-D connectors was 35.4 m/spl Omega/. The sample-to-sample variation of the Micro-D connector pairs was minimal (standard deviation equaled 20% of average). The high frequency transfer impedance increased at a rate less than directly proportional to frequency suggesting that the coupling mechanism was not purely aperture coupling nor contact impedance. The transfer impedance (shielding performance) of the Micro-D connector was sensitive to tightness of the jack screws. The transfer impedance increased dramatically as jack screws were loosened and removed. The LFH/sup TM/ connector exhibited transfer impedances approximately 15 dB lower than the Micro-D connector.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.

In order to gather valid scientific magnetic field data and avoid electromagnetic interference, the spacecraft had to comply with stringent magnetostatic cleanliness requirements. Amidst the strongest magnetic field perturbations were three radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs), which provide power to the spacecraft's engineering subsystems and science instruments. The RTGs have been compensated efficiently. This paper describes the field-mapping technique, the numerical modeling and the compensation approach used for the RTGs with the goal of minimizing its magnetic field interference with Cassini's DC magnetic field science instruments. A short synthesis of the total spacecraft cleanliness level is also given.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.

The methodology is based on a test technique which uses time and frequency synchronized multi-channel receiver systems to simultaneously record total fields at multiple locations. Advanced signal processing is used to cancel interfering ambient signals, accurately estimate the EUT signal strengths, and relate radiation emission signals to their origins. The presented test methodology virtually eliminates the need for expensive anechoic chambers for pre-compliance testing and EMI troubleshooting. As a result, low cost and automated pre-compliance testing can be effectively conducted in open area test sites (OATS) or inside fully operational plants throughout the product development cycle.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.

The OATS test results are typically regarded as the reference standard and all other techniques must be correlatable to the OATS data. The accepted procedures all determine the maximum emissions within some defined solid angle. Reverberation chambers, which measure total radiated power, are not currently accepted in any emission standard. Simple probing of general directional emission patterns can demonstrate what fraction of the total equipment-under-test (EUT) emissions are observed in a particular test technique. In this article, the emissions from two battery-powered laptop computers were investigated using a short wire antenna in the near field.","PeriodicalId":312828,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatability.
